The high voltage ignition mechanism comprises a voltage boosting device, a spark plug, and other element(s). - In summary of the above embodiments, in the present invention, the Li battery is used as the DC power source, the position sensor is used to detect the rotation speed of the flywheel to determine the ignition angle, the temperature sensor is used to detect the current temperature, the controller converts the DC power source from a low voltage to a high voltage via the voltage boosting device. The controller, according to various working conditions including the current rotation speed, working time, temperature, etc., calculates the currently necessary ignition angle and ignition voltage, then the electronic ignition system, with the angle calculated by the controller itself, uses a high voltage pack to release an electric spark with corresponding energy such that the fuel-gas mixture in the cylinder combusts, pushing the piston to move to and fro so that the gasoline engine is in an ideal working state. Therefore, ignition can be achieved at a very low rotation speed. The temperature sensor is used to detect the current temperature and when the temperature is relatively low, the ignition voltage should be increased. Also, the controller can control the ignition angle and energy such that the ignition occurs when the concentration in the cylinder is the highest, producing the largest spark, so that it is relatively easy to start the gasoline engine, easier to operate and higher in efficiency. Compared with the prior technical solution of magnet motor, in the present invention, it is not necessary to install bulky magnet modules on the blades of the flywheel, and thus the weight of the blades can be reduced, so that the power (from the gasoline engine) consumed by the blades is relatively small and the whole efficiency of the system can be improved. Also, by speed detection, the ignition angles at different speeds can be controlled to be in the ideal state, thus improving the working efficiency of the gasoline engine system in any speed state. Moreover, the controller with an MCU design can precisely control the ignition angle and energy. When the load of the gasoline engine changes rapidly, the controller can, with the flywheel position detected by the position sensor and the flywheel rotation speed and with controlling of the program algorithms, adjust the ignition angle at the appropriate time. Thus a relation of the ignition time point, the ignition voltage and the rotation speed as obtained is shown in
FIG. 5 , thus making the gasoline engine work more stably. - Certainly, the above embodiments are provided only to explain the technical concepts and features of the present invention, with the purpose for enabling those skilled in the art to implement the present invention by understanding the contents thereof, rather than limiting the protection scope of the present invention thereto.
